Not much to report, as it was just another day of work, grocery shopping, all the usual stuff. But I wasted far too much time (as usual) on Facebook, where I had an amusing time following the writings of a friend who is currently travelling through China. Yet interestingly, China has blocked all access to Facebook, but with his Nokia phone, he's able to continue making status updates (although posting pictures is beyond him).
It's kind of amazing to me that China continues to keep such control over the media, when it's obvious that there are so many ways around the firewalls. Plus, with new media like twitter and remote ISPs, it seems that there are more ways for the info to get out that you'd imagine.
Whether it be China or Iran or North Korea...I'm glad the word is getting out.
